The process of computational design in mechanical engineering often begins with a problem or a goal, followed by an assessment of literature, resources, and systems available to address the issue. The Design Computation and Digital Engineering (DeCoDE) Lab at MIT instead explores the bounds of what is possible. Working with the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, […]

Researchers examined fruit fly larvae from multiple geographic locations, following their developmental time, behaviour, and long-term survival. Measuring exposure to over 1,000 different agrochemicals, researchers reported significant changes in behaviour and long-term survival of different insect populations in a new study (words: European Molecular Biology Laboratory). Declining insect populations (an average of 2-3% per year) […]

The world of robotics faces a persistent challenge: replicating the intricate sensory capabilities that humans naturally possess. While robots have made remarkable strides in visual processing, they’ve historically struggled to match the nuanced touch sensitivity that allows humans to handle everything from fragile eggs to complex tools with ease. A team of researchers from Columbia […]

Memory is one of the most fascinating aspects of human cognition. It allows us to learn from experiences, recall past events, and manage the world’s complexities. Machines are demonstrating remarkable capabilities as Artificial Intelligence (AI) advances, particularly with Large Language Models (LLMs). They process and generate text that mimics human communication. This raises an important […]

With average global temperatures set to see another record high this year, the chances of holding warming to no more than 1.5C continue to dwindle. Keeping warming below 1.5C by the end of the century – in line with the long-term goal of the Paris Agreement – now likely involves “overshooting” 1.5C and then bringing […]
